Descriptive statistics such as mean, frequency and standard deviation was used. The multiple regression analysis was use to assess the effects of multiple predictor variables on the dependent measure. Results from the first objective show that that access bank assessment of the capacity to pay loan was strongly agreed by 44.7% was used as a credit rating component at Access Bank Plc.
